Winthrop presents his social vision in religious terms. What secular advantages also might underlie his appeal to build a society "knit together . . . As one man"?

The greatest secular advantage that this model presents is the reduction of socioeconomic inequality.

Explanation:

Winthrop's vision of building a "united ... as one man" society was developed to be applied within a religious community, where everyone helps each other and promotes the equal distribution of resources, opportunities and privileges. In this way all members of this community are equal, not only before the law, or before God, but before society as well.

This concept would be very important in secular communities, because it allows the elimination of socioeconomic inequalities that slaughter certain individuals to the detriment of the growth of others. With this form, all individuals would have the same resources and the same quality of life that would be satisfactory and good.
